Fruit Machine

Collectors dream - Barcrest Classic Amusement only Fruit Machine.
Only 25 Manufactured in 1988, this is a unique Machine, does not pay out cash, Winnings are transferred into Credit/Plays.

Looks like may be more winter spring and summer project. Anyway, whatever you decide, good luck with the efforts. All I know is that you get the best pleasure out of the more difficult jobs. I have taken on some projects and people don't believe the finished product, although by default some of thes...

Thanks for the warning jingle. It's not just the scammers direct action either. I recently sold an item on ebay (non coinop). It was a collection only item and was bought and paid for immediately by Paypal. This is a difficulty on ebay as when collection only items are paid via Paypal then the scamm...

Thanks for sharing your opinion....... on my opinion....

GP

Many thanks for sharing this technique with the forum and I am sure it will be useful to many of us for various projects, however, and only a personal opinion, I think I would have not bothered and just left it without the lettering. The inner artwork on this machine I really like but that manufactu...

OP has another thread on his Sega Continental requesting an award card. I told him I have one he can have free of charge and he's coming Thursday. As a result, I have also discussed his issue with his Aristocrat. The machine I believe still has the topbox artwork for Lucky Pennies so he's keen to ge...

being collected this week

I didn't go to the last auction. The one before, I think the Bonus hammer price was just over 900, so I presume the reserve is/was a grand or more. At least that Sega Hitop case and Mills backdoor are now sold!

I see Elephant results have been posted.
I presume Bonus Hitop was again unsold?

GP

I've been offline due to Virgin Media down.
Let me know if you still want the award card and or the other cabinet parts etc.

GP

I managed to grab a picture of the Continental bits I have left. The chrome payout tray is pretty good too and the coin entry bits are still there in a box with other bits. Let me know if the award card is one you were looking for.

GP

I think I have one. I'll try and locate it over the weekend for you. If I find it you can have it, no charge. I may have all the window glass too, so let me know if yours is in good condition or not. It may be better to swap the whole lot. I'll let you know over the weekend. I was out collecting in ...

i saw the merkur and saw that there was no online bidding

wasnt titled well enough to attract the widest audience so

thought there well may be a low priced opportunity for someone


so well done, hopefully the other bidder didnt push you too hard.

GP

only saw this very late last night and had no info

from the auctioneers, i was on a rare trip out today

was in herts collecting & was tempted to carry on down

but in the end decided to turn back and get back home


from your account TF probably made the right decision.

GP

I can well imagine that the seller received many offers, even well before the item was actually listed in auction. I never offered a price outside of the auction but as it's a rare set of castings, particularly in the UK and with a complete working mechanism, (although not 4 reeler) in a solid wood ...

take all the advice then make the right decision for you. and i think i could live with the chrome on that jennings. however, if it came home with me, that x3 reel mech and that blue and white award card would be out in a flash & my spare x4 reel mech would be slipped right in along with a nice ...
